| Welcome recruit. So, you're interested in joining our fine company. Well, we're always looking for new men interested in the Civil War to fall in our ranks. Here, you can experience something of the life of a Civil War soldier. Nowhere else will you get a better understanding of the soldiers who fought one of America's greatest conflicts than wearing their uniforms, carrying their arms, sleeping in their tents, and marching in their formations. Here's is your chance to relive an important part of our national history! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Enlistment is easy. Just complete our enlistment sheet and medical form and send to: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The 121st Ohio Volunteer Infantry 169 East Church Street Marion, Ohio 43302 |

This places you on our muster rolls and in our communications, to recieve our newsletter: The Longroll, gives you a voice in our decisions, and opens you to the whole world of reenacting. We have no participation requirements, but the more you can participate, certainly the more enjoyment you'll have. And of course, the more memories and stories you'll have to tell! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You must 18 years or older to serve on the actual gun itself. Minors can act as ammunition carrier, or "powder monkey." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here, you'll do more than you've ever expected. You'll travel throughout the United States, seeing many Civil War battlefields. (As we say in the company, "Join the 121st and see the South!") You will see hundreds and thousands of men arrayed in long lines of battle and hear the deafening noise of muskets and cannon, gaining a sense of what those men went through, and hear many a story around the campfire. Most of all, you'll form friendships that will last a lifetime and experience things that you will never forget. So, enlist now and begin to experience only what you've read in books. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
